The National Security Agency is the Nation's cryptologic organization.
It coordinates, directs, and performs highly specialized activities to
protect U.S. information systems and produce foreign intelligence
information. A high technology organization, NSA is on the frontiers
of communications and data processing. It is also one of the most
important centers of foreign language analysis and research within the
Government. We currently have Linguist opportunities available in
Ft. Meade, Maryland.
As an NSA Linguist, you will be involved in activities that focus on
research translation, transcription, reporting, and analysis of
materials of national concern. You may be involved in projects that
have global ramifications. We are particularly interested in those
individuals who are proficient in Asian, Middle Eastern, or Slavic

A linguistic career with the NSA develops your ability to evaluate

your understanding of a culture in which a certain language is spoken,
expanding your horizons more than a comparable career in business,
commerce, or academia normally would. In short, your language skills
will make a world of difference here.
Let's speak about your advancement potential. As an NSA linguist you
may take on additional research and reporting responsibilities; apply
for field assignments abroad; elect to teach at our National
